Sponsor the Bobcats!
In the spring of 2007, the Henson Robinson Zoo received two baby bobcats. Initially, the zoo was to be a temporary holding facility until a permanent home was found for the pair. In the ensuing weeks & months, zoo staff and visitors alike vocalized a desire to keep the bobcats at the Henson Robinson Zoo. By sponsoring the bobcats, you can make this possible as we prepare to build a new exhibit.

Contact the zoo at (217)753-6217 for more information on sponsoring the bobcats.
